- Containing the Cost of a Cap-and-Trade Program for Carbon Dioxide Emissions, May 20, 2008. Testimony before the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, United States Senate: “Most analyses suggest that an appropriately designed program to begin lowering CO2 emissions would produce greater benefits than costs. Market-oriented approaches to reducing carbon emissions, such as a cap-and-trade program or a carbon tax, would reduce emissions more cheaply than would command-and-control approaches, such as regulations requiring across-the-board reductions by all firms. Those market-oriented approaches are relatively efficient because they create incentives and flexibility for emission reductions to occur where and how they are least expensive to accomplish.”
